Yes, I'm going to beat this dead horse a bit more.
So my lovely wife stocked me up with a few new games to keep me occupied after surgery this weekend. One of those was Starhawk. Please Devs, for the love of all that is holy, someone grab this game and force everyone working on the Dust vehicles to drive the vehicles in Starhawk to learn how it should be done. The controls were simple and fluid. The vehicles felt like they had the proper mass and responded to bumps and jumps the way I expected them too. The vehicles also felt more balanced, a tank was not uber unstoppable and the truck was not paper thin.
Side-note: The jet bike thing was awesome, we need something like that
As it is right now I have completely stopped using LAV's unless someone picks me up as a gunner because the controls are so horrible. I was in a game this weekend where the resupply bug got stuck on a HAV order so I got to drive one of those, and the controls were just as horrible as the LAV just at a slower pace.
Slightly off topic, the other thing I liked much better control wise from Starhawk was having run on the R2. Please either let us fully customize controls or move run to R2 and move weapon selection to L3. We might be able to customize already I didn't bother checking. I didn't even notice that I didn't like the control until playing something doing it better. |

I agree, it will just take some time getting use to the new vehicle controls.
But i do think that being able to customize your button lay out is kewl. +1 |

Yes, the vehicle controls are really that bad right now.

They aren't really "new", they are a poorly executed implementation of the Halo vehicle controls, which weren't that great to begin with. Leaving the sticks to steering and camera control and adding gas and break to the triggers makes it much easier to drive since that is how every driving game made controls. |

I have to agree with that. when you are driving it should be easy, familiar and fluid. |

haha this is the first console fps i have played so far, and really i have no issue with the controls its the collision detection that bugs me when driving. but after about 5 matches with a tank I can drive one very very well, and I know now what spots I get stuck on so I can avoid them.
but once they add mouse and keyboard support I will never touch a ps3 controller again so haha does not matter what they do with the controller. |

People who drove the Ford Model T probably thought it was the greatest car ever since they had never driven any other, so what is your point?
